Caring For Your Washer
To keep your washer looking like new:
. Wipe up detergent, bleach or other
spills with a soft, damp cloth as
they occur.
. Sharp or heavy objects should not
be put on or in your washer. Check
pockets for nuts, bolts, etc.
. If the washer interior needs
cleaning, put 1 cup of chlorine
bleach and 2 cups of detergent in
the washer. Run through a
complete cycle using hot water.
. When removing hard water
deposits, use only cleaners labeled
as being washer safe.
Before leaving on vacation
1. Shut off both water faucets.
2. Unplug power cord and turn off
electric power supply.
To protect your washer from
freezing

your washer is stored or moved during
freezing weather, winterize it.
1. Shut off both water faucets.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses.
3. Put a quart of R.V.-type antifreeze
in the washer basket.
4. Push cycle control knob in. Turn
knob clockwise to just beyond any
dot on the dial. See “Rinse and
spin” on page 6 for additional
information.
5. Pull knob out, and allow washer to
run for about 30 seconds to mix
antifreeze and water.
6. Unplug power cord and turn off
electric power supply.
7. Store where washer will not freeze.
To use washer again

2. Reconnect water inlet hoses
according to Installation
Instructions.
